Do You Need More of this Vitamin for Vitality?

In addition to bone health, vitamin D may be vital to muscle function and mobility

Decades of research have focused on the importance of vitamin D for maintaining healthy bones, especially as we age. The relationship between vitamin D and bone health was cited as the most important consideration when the Institute of Medicine expert panel updated the vitamin D recommendations in 2010 as well. But vitamin D may be vital for healthy aging for another reason: Without enough of it, muscle function and mobility can be impaired, which is a leading cause of falls in seniors, and can lead to broken bones and other injuries.

More D for more muscle

To examine the connection between vitamin D, muscle strength, and mobility, researchers studied 302 women between ages 70 and 90 with low blood vitamin D levels. The women were divided into two groups, receiving either 1,000 IU of vitamin D per day or a placebo. Lower body muscle strength was measured at the beginning and end of the study. Mobility was assessed with the timed up-and-go test, which measures how long it takes a person to get up from a chair, walk a short distance, and return to the chair.

After a year of supplementing with vitamin D, compared with the placebo group, women with the weakest leg muscle strength and poorest mobility at the beginning of the study had significantly greater forward and backward (extensor) strength, side-to-side (abductor) strength, and faster timed up-and-go tests. Only the group who took supplements showed significant increases in blood vitamin D levels.

Getting the right dose of D

Keep the following tips in mind about vitamin D and how to help yourself age well:

Ask your doctor or dietitian for a recommendation on what amount is right for you.

Stay active as you age. It's easy to do less over time, and the best way to remain active is to never stop being active in the first place.

If you have an injury or simply struggle to complete activities of everyday life, ask your doctor for a referral to a physical therapist or exercise physiologist. A targeted program to strengthen the body can go a long way toward helping us stay independent and healthy as we age.

At age 57, ED has been a part of my life since age 40. Wow, that is a long time. I have tried many things. Most recently, that wonderful 5mg pill advertised by people who sit side by side in bathtubs. It was wonderful. I had one month for free from my urologist, and the other month for free from a website certificate. Alas, my insurance is not interested in this med for bph. So easy, one a day, and I could sleep all night and be ready all day. Sigh!So, I have researched long and hard (pun intended) for something I can afford -- since this med without a Rx or generic is out of my budget.I was one of the many fans of Vitalikor (before the bad guys at the FDA yelled and said no more magic ingredient in that one).After much research, I decided to give this a try.I actually had the nerve to buy it in the GNC store in my small town, versus an online order.After the first eight days, main observation is that the scrotum of the writer seems to be more taut and tight all day.I know the online descriptions say 'give it a month to see full results.'At first, I thought I would stretch it out a bit -- one in the morning, one at lunch, two at dinner.I decided now to go with the directions (Listen to the experts, I guess) and three in the morning and three at dinner.I did stop taking my multivitamin though, based on all the extra stuff that is included in this.Certainly, I will post an updated review in weeks to come.

I'm almost 30 years old and I started taking Arginmax after a bad experience taking pre-workouts and thermogenics that helped me lose weight, but basically caused ED and other health issues due to too much caffeine. (heart racing, high blood pressure, etc) Arginmax was recommended to me by a someone who worked at GNC to help fix the issues I'd been experiencing. After taking Arginmax for a few days, I started to notice a difference, after taking it for weeks and drinking plenty of water, I no longer have ED or any of the other issues caused by the pre-work outs and thermogenics. (it's actually helped keep my blodd pressure down and stable due to the blood vessel dialation) I'm back to my normal self in the bedroom and it does indeed give you the staying power as advertised. My erections are stronger, last much longer, I have more stamina, more confidence, and staying power. I'm a happy man again and my Wife is even happier with the result! I started taking 3 in the morning on an empty stomach and 3 an hour or so before dinner. After 2 months and being a bigger guy (6ft 6in and 380 pounds) I've upped the dosage to 4 morning and evening and feel even better! Just make sure to drink plenty of water during the day and while taking Arginmax and it's essential to it working as it should.

Bottom line: If you have issues in the bedroom or just want a little more to spice things up, Arginmax is your best friend. It needs some time to work it's way into your system, when it does, you won't be disappointed!
